OLD MAN WINTER VISITING TIFTAREA IN COMING WEEK
The calendar may note that is only mid-November, but it will definitely feel like winter in Tifton during the coming days.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday nights are expected to fall into the bone-chilling 20s, says the National Weather Service. Yes, winter is making an appearance in South Georgia.
While today -- Friday, Nov. 14 -- is expected to have a high near 52 degrees, tonight's low is forecast to dip to freezing at 32 degrees. We will then see a slight warming trend, with high temperatures Sunday and Monday around 70 degrees. But come Monday night, temperatures drop into the 30s again, with lows forecast for Tuesday at 27 degrees and lows Wednesdays at 29 degrees.
The National Weather Service says a cold Arctic high pressure will plunge southeast into the region, bringing the coldest air of the season into Tifton and surrounding areas. Meanwhile, winter-like weather is covering most of the central and eastern U.S.

The sweet juice pouring from the cane mill will then be transferred to the syrup shed where it will be cooked down in a cast iron kettle to make delicious cane syrup.
